very good SSD, reliable despite intensive use (video editing), transfers heavy files quickly and saves precious time
The Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus M.2 PCIe NVMe 500GB has stood the test of time and is still going strong after 4 years of use. It remains reliable for everyday use, even if its performance now lags behind that of more recent SSDs on the market.
It has still offered good durability, making it a solid long-term investment.
In short, an SSD that has aged well and still performs well, even if it has now been overtaken by new generations.
Purchased for my home assistant, it will enable me to store images from my cameras. Good writing speed at a very competitive price.
I gave it this rating because my coli arrived at the time in perfect condition, and the component works very well even after careful use.
I received the equipment very quickly and it works very well. There's nothing to say about a problem and I would recommend this site for computer equipment.
I plugged it into the M.2 port on my motherboard in addition to my SSHD, just to install games. Works like a charm!
Be careful though: there are no screws supplied. Check to see if your motherboard has any.
Works properly.
This card helps speed up the computer that processes my photos.
Installation is straightforward, and the SSD is immediately recognised by the Asrock X570 Steel legend motherboard. Fast operation.
Mounted on a motherboard to accommodate the Windows operating system, everything is perfect.
Thanks to the LDLC team, fast parcel and delivery.
